Divine Beast Creator
Chapter 961 - 962 Trouble

Chapter 961: Chapter 962 Trouble

"Hey, watch out! Don’t crash into me!"

Seeing Xiao Ji charging at him, Feng Yuan quickly shouted, but the creature paid no heed and pounced right onto him, knocking him to the ground. Stroking Xiao Ji’s feathers, Feng Yuan said with a hint of helplessness,

"What’s the rush, you little rascal?"

Xiao Ji emitted a pitiful eagle cry while looking at Feng Yuan, who patted its back gently and said,

"Alright, get off me now. You’re crushing me."

After finally getting Xiao Ji off him, Feng Yuan laughed and tapped on Xiao Ji’s head saying,

"Come on now, there’s no need to worry so much. Couldn’t you sense where I was?"

The reason he had found Xiao Ji so quickly was because he had used their Taming Beast Contract to sense each other. If Xiao Ji had tried sensing his location, it wouldn’t have panicked and spun around in place. Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji paused and seemed embarrassed, lowering its head. Because it had been following Feng Yuan so closely all this time, it completely forgot about this ability.

Feng Yuan ruffled the feathers on Xiao Ji’s head and spoke somewhat helplessly,

"I really don’t know what to do with you. Anyway, let’s quickly resolve the mess Little Ice Cream has made. I wouldn’t have had to come looking for you if I wasn’t worried you’d cause more trouble."

Poking Xiao Ji on the forehead, Feng Yuan complained. He had come to find it first because he was worried Xiao Ji would cause trouble; otherwise, he could have just stayed put to deal with the chaos caused by Little Ice Cream.

Taking out the Dark Ancient Book, Feng Yuan threw it fiercely into the air, where it flipped open by itself. The floating Dark Ancient Book gradually absorbed the black mist. Seeing other people’s figures starting to appear around him, Feng Yuan said with some annoyance,

"I didn’t expect that little guy to cause so much trouble."

He truly hadn’t expected the usually quiet and ornamental Little Ice Cream to stir up such a commotion. It was a good thing they were in the Mirror Image World created by Veronia; otherwise, he would be in trouble tomorrow. Even if it wasn’t deliberate, Little Ice Cream’s actions could still lead to punishment.

Could it be that Little Ice Cream would be sent away? Feng Yuan thought somewhat randomly. To be honest, he didn’t know how Great Xia would judge such unintentional chaos caused by Spirit Beasts. Would they really be treated strictly according to the law? Yet they were innocent and ignorant, more like children who perhaps didn’t even know what they had done. Like Pomiti, who could say that if it did something unintentionally, it was wrong?

But it couldn’t be ignored either. Normally, the responsibility for inadequate control would fall on the Beastmaster. But Feng Yuan wasn’t its Beastmaster; strictly speaking, he was just temporarily taking care of Little Ice Cream.

"Forget it, let them worry about these troublesome matters themselves."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan no longer dwelled on the issue. It wasn’t his problem to deal with, and in any case, the blame couldn’t be placed on him. As for being too strict with the Spirit Beasts? Did they really think Divine Beasts were harmless? Hadn’t they seen that Agunas was still thinking about breaking into that technological world to avenge those Spirit Beasts?

"So it was this little thing that caused all the commotion?"

Liao Yu curiously observed Little Ice Cream perched on Feng Yuan’s shoulder. After causing a fuss, Little Ice Cream yawned and seemed ready to retreat and continue resting. Liao Yu hesitated for a moment before withdrawing his hand and looking at Feng Yuan, saying,

"What do you plan to do with this little guy? If you’re going to adopt it, please make sure to watch it closely. If it causes another incident in a crowded area, even you won’t escape punishment."

"If you don’t plan on adopting it..."

Liao Yu spoke but then seemed unsure how to continue. Little Ice Cream wasn’t a wild Spirit Beast; or rather, at this moment, it may be the only one of its kind in this world. If released into the wild, where could they possibly send it? They didn’t know the requirements for Little Ice Cream’s living environment.

However, not sending it away went against regulations. And if their actions inadvertently resulted in an accident befalling Little Ice Cream, who knows what the Divine Beasts might think? Thinking of this gave Liao Yu a headache.

"Can’t you get it to be a bit more careful?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan somewhat puzzled, not believing that Little Ice Cream was as blissfully unaware as Pomiti, merely not showing it. Even with Pomiti, Qi Chen suspected the creature had its own thoughts.

Reaching out to tap Little Ice Cream, the creature suddenly bit his finger and seemed unhappy. After struggling to get free, Feng Yuan smiled helplessly and said,

"It’s not like it’s out of the question, but I don’t know much about it myself, not to mention I didn’t even know it had such an ability."

He indeed didn’t know that Little Ice Cream had the ability to cast a shadow in the hearts of the living, let alone that this ability was so special that it could even affect Veronia and the others, who were genuine Divine Beasts with Divine Beast Level strength.

Lanadi examined Little Ice Cream on Feng Yuan’s shoulder, she truly hadn’t expected to encounter such a peculiar Spirit Beast. If it weren’t for its rarity with hardly a few of its kind in the world, she would wonder if the Divine Beast Hall would pick another fight with the Alliance over it.

"What an interesting little thing."

Gladys observed Little Ice Cream and, with the corners of her mouth turning up slightly, said, she had naturally noticed that this little one wasn’t stupid at all. It just seemed to always have an air of not having enough energy, making her wonder if it shared a similar evolution mechanism with the Dreaming Dragon Baby. Thinking this, Gladys looked at Feng Yuan and asked,

"Does it have similar evolutionary requirements to the Dreaming Dragon Baby?"

"An accumulation of energy? I’m not sure, but I don’t rule out that possibility."

Seeing Little Ice Cream just curl up and continue resting, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said, he really wasn’t sure about Little Ice Cream’s evolution conditions. This little thing was also a brand new Spirit Beast for him, and there was no possibility of directly accessing very detailed information about it.

While Little Ice Cream wasn’t paying attention, Feng Yuan tapped on its head. The latter opened its eyes suspiciously, gave Feng Yuan a strange look, and then curled back up. Meanwhile, Xiao Ji was glaring at Little Ice Cream, it hadn’t expected the real culprit to be it! Xiao Ji was so furious that it even thought about chasing Little Ice Cream off Feng Yuan’s shoulder.

"Are we there yet? What a pity. How about we turn around and head back?"

Just then, Feng Yuan suddenly noticed that the landscape lights around them were gradually decreasing, which meant they were slowly leaving the scenic area of Mao Mu River. Lanadi thought for a moment and said,

"That’s not a bad idea. We just had that incident and missed some things. What do you all think?"

"It’s not easy to get back to school from here either."

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly. What was this guy thinking? They were almost out of the city, and besides, Liao Yu had come by car. If they just dropped him off, how was he supposed to retrieve his vehicle?

"Well, there’s a free bus. We might as well take it while we can~"

Feng Yuan grinned at Liao Yu. The latter scratched his head and looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion. It took him a while to realize what Feng Yuan meant and said helplessly,

"I don’t mind driving you guys back."

The Norek cruised slowly upon Mao Mu River, the group standing on the deck admiring the rare and special sights. As the Norek returned to the departure point, Feng Yuan somewhat reluctantly followed the others off the boat.

Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion. He grinned and gave Xiao Ji’s head a rough rub, saying,

"It’s okay, I’m fine~"

"Are you leaving together?"

Liao Yu asked Gladys and Lanadi. If he remembered correctly, Gladys seemed to be staying at a hotel, and it wasn’t very convenient for them to travel with Feng Yuan and the others. Lanadi shook her head and said,

"No need, she and I will head back together. You take them back to school. I know you’re busy with work, and you don’t want to linger too long here or you’ll end up working overtime."

Hearing Lanadi’s words, Liao Yu gave a wry smile and scratched his head while Gladys, taking Lanadi with her, said,

"I’ve just found a great bar. We’re not leaving it tonight until we’re drunk~"

Lanadi gave a resigned smile and, dragging Gladys along, they left. Liao Yu sighed and turned towards Feng Yuan, saying,

"I’ll drive you all back to school now."

"It’s much quieter now."

Back in the dorm, Feng Yuan whispered, the school typically arranged all of the same-grade students on the same floor. With the mock trials starting, everyone was aware there wasn’t much time left. Anyone who had set their sights on the Beastmaster assessment was already moving out of the school. After all, even if the school was liberal, they wouldn’t allow students to train all night on the premises.

With this in mind, Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen. He had wanted to see what Qi Chen would be like training all night, but, unexpectedly, he was just like normal. Well, this wasn’t bad either~ Feng Yuan thought as he pulled Xiao Ji over for a good roughhousing session.
